I had a mixed experience at Montcalm Brewery Townhouse. The location was fantastic, situated near transport and attractions, which made exploring London a breeze. However, the issues with my room, particularly the malfunctioning air conditioning, cramped beds, and lack of cleanliness, detracted from my stay. Although the breakfast was good and the staff friendly, the overall maintenance left much to be desired. 😟

My experience at the Montcalm Brewery Townhouse was a mix of highs and lows. On one hand, the location was fantastic, just steps away from various attractions, and I did enjoy a lovely breakfast with plenty of options. However, I faced significant issues with the room I was assigned, which felt more outdated than five-star, and the service from the concierge was disappointing. The initial excitement was dampened by these factors, making it a stay I won't forget for the mixed reasons.

For the price I paid, I expected a more seamless experience overall.
